Growing Equity in NEO: 2017 Year of Awareness Building
 |
In Cleveland, the inhabitants of high-poverty, racially segregated neighborhoods struggle to survive in the face of desperate circumstances-diminished resources and opportunities, underperforming schools, deteriorating physical environments, crime, and the constant threat of violence. The conditions in which they live all but predict the negative outcomes that characterize most low-income neighborhoods. Though the immediate future may seem bleak, the need for empathy, thoughtful discourse, and a commitment to justice, has rarely been more urgent.
In January 2017, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and engaged partners will embark on a learning journey to increase our shared understanding of racial inequality, to foster productive dialogue among community stakeholders and civic leaders, and to determine strategies to meaningfully address racial disparities through community and economic development.
